Experts Warn Hackers May Be Preparing for Future Quantum Attacks

[bonk]

Cybersecurity researchers say hackers are already collecting crypto public keys in anticipation of future quantum computers capable of breaking current cryptography. This “harvest now, decrypt later” strategy could let attackers derive private keys once quantum machines advance. Experts urge rapid adoption of post-quantum security standards to prevent retroactive wallet compromises.
